Define "n00b"
<div class="IPBDescription">The mystery behind the word n00b</div> What is a n00b?
The word n00b, wich is elite for newbie, means that you are new to something.
So I'm a n00b to this forum. What i don't get, is why people keep calling folks that play bad for "n00bs".
You might be a talented n00b, and own everybody, but you're still a n00b.
Or you might have played since the beta-testing, but still play bad, does that mean that you're a n00b?
It just bugs me that people keep saying things like "OMG n00b, get out of teh chair."
How do they know I'm a n00b? I might have been playing for months.
I don't care if someone says that I suck. OK, it isn't nice, but it is Ok. But when someone calls me n00b, I get really bugged.
Just another bunch of irrelevant thoughts from me.

n00b: Someone who sucks and is unwilling to take any constructive critisism whatsoever.
We hate n00bs, we loathe them, a n00b would never go to the forums except to post a rant about how unbalanced the game is, or to post a "cool alien that can enter the body of a marine and pop out later!" in the ideas&suggestions forum.
Newbies come to learn, n00bs come to destroy a beautiful thing.
Yeah. I do believe that llama was a variation of lamer in days of past. Of course, there are other more descriptive names, but I won't go around the swear filter. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Like the others said, a newb (short for newbie) is someone who is new but is willing to take the time to cooperate and learn. n00b is the leetspeak bastardization of newb and usually connotates exceptional arrogance and obstinance in the face of more realistic observations on one's performance.
n00b - the rest of the forum mod team ^^ (excluding Flayra of course!)
